Larry, you're a damn hero. Can't believe he was going to junk that car.

[@Snarl616]

I can't believe it either. It's an 80s BMW. How can one not think "Maybe this is worth something"?

[@LSnium]

People are stupid, I go to the junkyard all the time and find really rare cars all the time, and most of them run and can be saved.

[@thenewcraft5582]

People throw away all kinds of expensive stuff all the time because to most people it's "old junk", but it's always shocked me more with cars since it's so widely known that people like them and they can be valuable. I collect and buy and sell video games and always ask for them at garage sales and other places. I've pulled $1000+ worth of stuff out of people's garbage cans before. Just tossed in a bag from the closet and right into the trash. No thought put in to it whatsoever most of the time, cars or not.

[@LSnium]

@@thenewcraft5582 people also have no brain to think that someone had to work to make these things, they didn’t just spawn out of nowhere.

[@EncrypticMethods]

@@Snarl616 That's the conundrum of having an oldschool BMW these days. You can buy one for 1,000$ but you will spend upwards of $20,000 to get it "perfect" again. Spare original parts are getting incredibly rare and expensive, luckily a lot of companies have been doing reproduction parts. All that being said, they are hand made cars assembled by people. They just need some love and money thrown at them.

[@James_Greene]

I love how you can almost hear the car go, “Ahhhhhhh.” Another great save, Larry!

[@stevejette2329]

Raf - Perhaps the idea of a 'makeover' is appealing. That's what does it for me. To take something with problems and make it fresh and like new.

[@ejorbe]

I understand what you mean. For me it is similar to the makeover. I think for me it is that I understand and know it takes several hours to several days to accomplish these tasks, but seeing the conflict, the remedy then seeing the final outcome in a single video is very soothing and relaxing for me. Heck, some videos even got me emotional for whatever reason. Thanks Larry for your videos!!

[@NYRangersteve]

WOW! Larry- Thank you for saving this vintage 5 series BMW! As a BMW CCA member, this made me extremely happy! I'm a long time fan and you are doing incredible work! I've learned soo much from your videos. Thank you!

Thanks for saving this one Larry! I had the same car a few years back and it was a dream to drive. They aren’t making these anymore, so glad it ended up in good hands and not the crusher!

[@andrewdeboer7435]

My favorite 5-series body style. The deterioration of the clearcoat and trim is familiar - my dad had a 1984 733i that he kept for 25 years and parked in the Florida sun every workday. Had the whole car repainted once.

[@tomc1901]

Larry, I love what you did with this car. I was hoping that you would show us what you did to fix up the roof with the washed out clear coat. I just bought a car that has the same sort of clear coat issue on the roof and wanted to see how you would address it. I have been hoping there is a solution that I can try before simply respraying it.

Looks like a Racing Dynamics front spoiler, Hella E-code headlights, E39 wheels... this car was clearly loved at one point in its life.

HVAC guy saw it in the garage after doing some work on the house and was super excited. Asked a bunch of questions about it and we eventually sold it to him. I can only hope he gave it half the love you did to this one and it's still running on the weekend roads somewhere.

I belive this is the most "glass" i have seen. That paint looks so damn amazing now. But how did the sunburnt roof looked after?

That plastic coating is amazing, what a transformation. Holy Wow.

[@tarkanbashllari1627]

My dad bought a 520i from that generation back in ‘94 in Stuttgart. It was relatively new (had just about 50k km on it); some guy back in Albania offered him $20k at the time (bc uno, Albania who just came out of communism) for the car but he categorically refused. He loved every km he put in it. He just loved that car in general, so much so he even drove it all the way to Turkey just to have it serviced. One day I will hopefully buy one to surprise him, inshallah 🤲

[@joetacchino4470]

E28 535i was my original dream car. I still remember sitting in one, white over red interior, in the showroom at Wide World of Cars in Spring Valley while my dad tried to justify a 528 on his budget. We ended up with a 5000S Turbo but I never forgot that car. The smell, the computer, the feel...amazing.

[@syrgrad91]

Looks great! The wheels were standard equipment on the base model E39 5-series (528i). Rare? No so much, although in typical BMW fashion the center caps are probably NLA, or are pricey.

[@selectstriker2]

Same, I picked up a set with caps for $100 5 years or so ago. They look awesome on the E28

[@KingJerbear]

I had a 1990 (E34) 535i, and I still dream about driving that car to this day. Not much on the road like it, great torque down low, confidence at high speeds, and sticky cornering. A really satisfying car to daily drive... although maybe not as much in NYC. I'll definitely get another one someday if I can manage to hit the powerball, lol. Thanks for sharing!

Great detailing job. Bmw e28 has been a long time dream of mine. Since childhood i still remember green 524td model that my neighbor had. I was scared from that car because it looked mean and always walked across the road whenever i passed it. Now they are so much up in value and unaffordable(atleast in EU)

[@dinsism]

the great thing about these old bmws is- that they have gone up in value!

[@cgmachanic]

I daily a 528e. I cant express how much I love and appreciate this episode. Even though I'm only 34yrs old this has been my dream car since I was a kid, well an m5 really but who seriously wants to cut that up? Not me lol. The way I see it once the car is finished I'll have a better handling car than even the new cars off the line.

[@spencermaiers8322]

Those wheels are BMW Style 29 from 1997-2003 5 series e39 chassis and have a 74.1 hub bore vs the e28 535 having a 72.56 hub bore. They require hub rings to mount accurately to the hubs or else a wobble can occur. I suggest metal (alu) rings not plastic. The wheels are not BBS RS 3pc from the 80s or Alpina's or Hartge's and if you want a center cap I have one, used, for free plus the cost of postage. They're probably a $2-400 set of wheels in good shape and are an excellent fit for these e28 cars, I believe about 16x7 et20.

[@krispykruzer]

This model reminded me that BMW did make some monstrosities before too, I absolutely despised the rear end of this series. However Larry always gets my respect for an amazing work

To clean up the raildust you need to use an acidic iron remover not plum wheel cleaner because it is alkaline and alkali does not chew up metal.
